Effects of cluster galaxies on arc statistics

Effects of cluster galaxies on arc statistics

We present the results of a set of numerical simulations evaluating the effect of cluster galaxies on arc statistics. We perform a first set of gravitational lensing simulations using three independent projections for each of nine different galaxy clusters obtained from N-body simulations. The simulated clusters consist of dark matter …
